Leicester City midfielder N’Golo Kante could become the centre of a transfer tug-of-war this summer after speculation over a release clause surfaces.

Kante, who has been the Premier League’s stand-out performer this season, joined Leicester last summer as part of a bargain £5.6million transfer from French side Caen.

Predictably, the Foxes now face a battle to cling on to their star players after their stunning title win and, with Europe’s leading clubs monitoring key midfielder Kante, French media outlet Le Parisien claim he has a €25million release clause in his contract.
